Development of Speech Input Method for Interactive VoiceWeb Systems

چکیده
We have developed a speech input method called “w3voice” to build practical and handy voice-enabled Web applications. It is constructed using a simple Java applet and CGI programs comprising free software. In our website (http://w3voice.jp/), we have released automatic speech recognition and spoken dialogue applications that are suitable for practical use. The mechanism of voice-based interaction is developed on the basis of raw audio signal transmissions via the POST method and the redirection response of HTTP. The system also aims at organizing a voice database collected from home and office environments over the Internet. The purpose of the work is to observe actual voice interactions of human-machine and human-human. We have succeeded in acquiring 8,412 inputs (47.9 inputs per day) captured by using normal PCs over a period of seven months. The experiments confirmed the user-friendliness of our system in human-machine dialogues with trial users.

An Information-Theoretic Discussion of Convolutional Bottleneck Features for Robust Speech Recognition
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
متن کاملA Database for Automatic Persian Speech Emotion Recognition: Collection, Processing and Evaluation
Abstract Recent developments in robotics automation have motivated researchers to improve the efficiency of interactive systems by making a natural man-machine interaction. Since speech is the most popular method of communication, recognizing human emotions from speech signal becomes a challenging research topic known as Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). In this study, we propose a Persian em...

Performance of speech recognition systems is greatly reduced when speech corrupted by noise. One common method for robust speech recognition systems is missing feature methods. In this way, the components in time - frequency representation of signal (Spectrogram) that present low signal to noise ratio (SNR), are tagged as missing and deleted then replaced by remained components and statistical ...
